FLOWER-POT HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 792,905, dated June 20, 1905.

Application filed October 22,1904. Serial No. 229,664.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CLnMnNs KIROi-INER, a citizen of the United States, residing at VVheeling, in the county of Ohio and State of West Virginia, have invented a new and useful Flower-Pot Holder, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is an improved construction of flower-pot holder, the object being to provide an exceedingly cheap and simple device by means of which a flower-pot of any size may be suspended from a nail or hook; and with this object in view the invention consists in the employment of a plurality of wire rods connected at their upper ends to a ring or link, the lower end of each wire rod being formed with a loop to engage the inner face of the flower-pot and a hook to engage the under side of the collar formed upon the exterior of the flower-pot at the upper edge.

The invention consists also in certain details of construction hereinafter fully de scribed, and pointed out in the claim.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the practical application of my invention. Fig. 2 is a View of the holder detached, and Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view.

In the embodiment of my invention I employ a plurality of wire rods A, preferably three, and which may be of any desired length and made from any desired thickness of wire. Each rod A is formed with an eyeB at its upper end, which fastens into a ring or link C, having an integral hook D. The lower end of each rod is formed into a loop E, preferably circular in form, said loop being intended to bear against the inner face of the flower-pot near the top and is made as broad as possible. After the loop is formed the wire is twisted, as shown at F, and carried upwardly a distance suflicient to clear the top of the pot, and it is then bent down, as shown at G, and at the extreme end is hooked, as shown at H, to engage the loweredge of the exterior collar or shoulder I, formed upon the pot K.

The holder is made from spring-wire and the clamping members can be quickly and easily fastened to the flower-pot and will remain securely connected thereto, and the said pot can then be suspended from a nail or hook. When it is desired to remove the holder, it can be easily accomplished by pushing down at G and disengaging the hook H from the shoulder I.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A device of the kind described comprising a plurality of rods loosely connected at their upper ends said rods being coiled adjacent their lower ends to form a loop, each rod projecting upwardly above its loop and then bent back upon itself, each of said rods at its lower end terminating in a hook member extending toward the loop.
